which turns upon a removable split pin, a, that passes through the sides of the stock. Upon opposite edges of each arm of the starwheel there. are undercut lips 11 that project from one side of the arms for receiving the percussion paper.

The sta'r wheel is removed from the stock and a piece of expiosi've paper is placed on each of its arms. It is then replaced in the stock andoperated by turning the star-wheel .by means of the arms that project below the stock, which act as triggers.
